If you are doing this on an embroidery machine, I use 2 layers of batting. Once the outline shapes are stitched, I trim the second layer of batting around the stitched areas and continue..but it won't be as puffy as traditional trapunto.

The current attacks on section 504 are going largely unnoticed. It is horrifying. They are also trying to twist it to be able to classify trans people as mentally disabled and therefore able to be institutionalized.

Absolutely agree. Dear Leader is not so great at keeping his cards hidden, the current raid is hopefully giving people a heads up to prepare.
But seriously...it would be nice to have opposing leadership that isn't just reactive but proactive to...anything.
We know they will try.

I think it would be difficult interfere with state run elections on a national scale (though I'm not sure the last election wasn't altered, DOJ shut down that investigation pretty quick after the lawsuit) But I do think they will try to intimidate.

It apparent they only attack women, children and elderly men. So tough. Their ancestors must be proud 🤪

Hi...most autistic people are prone to abuse and violence. Please stop using us as insults when you don't like someone. Especially when they are talking about putting us on a registry and eliminating us. Eugenics is still alive and well.

OK but did you even MENTION that Dear Leader got a FIFA peace medal?? 😂. (Yes, it's sarcasm in case that needs saying)

Adding my voice to the hope he runs. He would be amazing.

NPR as well

They also didn't raise their prices and pass them on to consumers when possible, so they should.

Never undestood the appeal of this place. Racist name, the coffee wasn't all that great and the one and only time we went for a meeting there was a cat turd on one of the couches.

subtitles please...

I am now a huge proponent of seasoning paste vs. oil. No mess, perfect layers of seasoning.

Happy Fall to you as well :)

It was humid enough this summer that most of my cast iron rusted.
Seasoning day is a good way to burn off some frustration lol

This contradicts a lot of what others are reporting. Many organized marches had booths at the end with information and outreach on how to take further action. Mayor Johnson/Chicago used it to call for a general strike. The size made the fearful brave.
Guess we just sit and do nothing then?

languages according to modern culture is almost never accurate, it was a more inclusive term than we interpret now.

Tolkien was a linguist and Norse scholar. In proto-Norse the word is "Maðr" It meant humanity. The later letter was Mannaz, or Man. A female man would have been linguistically correct.
One hundred and eleventieth birthday is also linguistically correct for proto-Norse.

Ding ding! Also, hope they are so afraid they never rear their ugly heads in this country again. I hope their Nuremburg comes swiftly.

My Katmai bear bag is done!
I managed to get Grazer centered in the top flap and am super happy about her always being with me lol.

32 Chunk takes the prize with his "post office size" shape. And he did it with a broken jaw.
I am not sure he would have survived if it were a fierce food compete year, grateful for the bounty of nature.

I guess we find out whether their oath is to the actual constitution or to dear leader...

Optimistic to think there's going to be an election..willing to wager he's pushing buttons hoping for a reaction to declare martial law and just suspend them.

Not so great with reading comprehension eh?

You are deserving of respect and care for who you are, period. I am cis but I promise I will keep fighting. I am sorry you are having to deal with the constant denial of your humanity.

Easy, you put /s to indicate saracsm. Or you say your joking.
